Living in Vancouver, Washington, offers a compelling blend of Pacific Northwest natural beauty, urban amenities, and a slightly more laid-back vibe than its larger neighbor across the Columbia River, Portland, Oregon. Residents enjoy stunning views of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens, access to numerous parks, and proximity to diverse outdoor activities, from hiking in the Gorge to exploring the coast. The city boasts a revitalized waterfront area with shops, restaurants, and public spaces, alongside a growing downtown core and established suburban neighborhoods.

The city has a vibrant and growing economy, heavily influenced by healthcare (PeaceHealth, Vancouver Clinic, Legacy Health are major employers), technology and manufacturing (including Hewlett-Packard), education, and trade and commerce. Its proximity to Portland's robust job market further expands employment opportunities across a wide array of industries.

The Vancouver Public Schools district is generally well-regarded, earning a "B" grade on Niche.com, with strong programs in academics, arts, and athletics, and several high schools recognized among the top in Washington state. For healthcare, Vancouver offers comprehensive services through major providers like PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center. Residents have excellent access to a full spectrum of medical care, including readily available reproductive healthcare options provided by various clinics and organizations like Planned Parenthood in Vancouver. While the cost of living has been rising due to its popularity as a more affordable alternative to Portland, it generally remains less expensive, particularly for housing (median home price is around $450,000-$480,000 as of August 2024, compared to Portland's $550,000-$600,000), and Washington's lack of state income tax is a significant financial benefit.
